Wickedly funny, cat lover or not

This may become your favorite "coffee table" book, as it is not one to read once and put away. You'll find yourself coming back again and again to pore through this devilishly delightful spoof of web pages for cats. Just spend a few minutes absorbing "Deepcat Chowdown's 'The Seven Spiritual Laws of Laziness' " and if you aren't chuckling with delight, you have no sense of humor at all. Every page is designed to tickle and titillate, with outstanding success.

A must for the computer-minded cat lover!

In a format that reminds me of the old Mad magazines, Jon Mathis and Mary Shomon have compiled a book of web sites for cats called "Scratching the 'Net" that would make a great gift for anyone who loves both computers and cats. My favorite site was for Ross Purr-oh, who is apparently still running for president (backed by United We Purr, of course!). Shaper Claw has several pages of its on-line catalog, featuring items such as the Spray-Away Robot, for those times when the cat just can't be there to protect its territory. From the web sites to the tool bar (including such buttons as Back to Sleep, Open One Eye, and Find Toys), this book is definitely a cat's eye view of the Internet.I give it 5 purrs and a good lick!

Hilarious! funny! cute! delightful!

Best book to receive for Christmas: light, smart and fun to read! Pokes fun at humans without offending cats; G-rated for the whole family and cat-lovers from 2 to 82. I'll never again sit at my computer without wondering what my cat Tiger has been up to overnight.

Funniest book I have ever read!

Congratulations to humorists Jon Mathis and Mary Shomon for putting out a first-rate book on a really funny topic. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it to be extremely clever and entertaining. I recommend it to anyone who is a cat lover and even to anyone who is not (I happen to fall into the latter category!) I bought many copies for Christmas gifts and know that my friends will enjoy it as much as I did. I anxiously await the authors' next book and will be first in line to purchase it assuming it is half as funny as " Scratching the Net"!
